Darn! I should have brought a handkerchiefwith some onions so I could produce some tears!

The rot is out in the open. What happens next will determine whether the outcome is a serious purification or a new cover-up.

Circling the wagons and waiting out the crisis has worked in the past. Can it work again?

Not likely.

So the new strategy is crocodile tears, promises of change, and painting the angry reactions to sex abuse and the cover ups as a plot to get the pope!

Cardinal Wuerl sent out a letter to his priests yesterday which seems to me to be implementing the new strategy. He wants, he says to "be close" to his priests, an expression that made me snort in view of what the crisis is all about. It immediately brought to mind McCarrick asking seminarians to share his bed. Now that's getting "close!"

Graphic for the bishops' Novembermeeting in Baltimore -- Good thing it's nextto the harbor -- plenty of water!

As the U.S. bishops prepare for their upcoming meeting in November I hope they will consider, pray, and prepare to defend the faith. There are likely to be plenty of fireworks, if the good and faithful bishops do their duty and demand a change to the circle-the-wagons, hide-the-truth manner of doing business so typical of the past.

God forbid that it's a business as usual, ho-hum, nothing-to-see-here-move-along strategy. That is, of course, what Cupich, Farrell, Wuerl, Joseph Tobin, et al will be going for. "Hey, all you right wing, rigid bishops, you've got to stop your clericalism and be pastoral like us. We love our flock, especially the altar boys.

"A tale of corruption set in Rome and the United States where Vatican figures conspire with American cardinals jostling for positions of power and influence. Lust and greed thrive in Vatican corridors as men in Roman collars victimize the innocent. Can a few honest men save the Church? Will the courageous archbishop speak out in time to halt the scandal and prevent more innocent victims from abuse?...."

Well, you get the idea. My head is spinning and I wonder more and more if all the tales in Malachi Martin's Windswept House were absolutely true including the satanic ritual in the basement with "Agnes" who was raped by the Cardinal Bernardin character thinly disguised.

Ever since he was booted from the Diocese of Arlington for asking Bishop Loverde to clean up the homosexual perversion in our rectories, Fr. James Haley has continued to raise the relevant moral issues and ask for answers.

For years, I'm sure he felt like he was talking to himself. Maybe now, as the lid is coming off the putrid sewage tank, people will hear him.

In an email the other day, he offered a list of issues that relate to the problem of homosexual priests. There are so many in the scandal and he listed several:

precepts of Canon Law (which for example strongly encourages priests to associate and live together) -- i.e. the living arrangements of seminaries, rectories, religious communities, priest retreats, vacations...

the basic fundamentals of morality (such as avoiding the near occasion of sin -- part of the act of contrition for a worthy confession)

Fr. Bryan Massingale is scheduled to give a retreat for gay clergy and consecrated religious in the Diocese of Milwaukee in October. Sad to say, Bishop Jerome Listecki does not appear to be taking much action to prevent the scandalous event.

In the interests of full disclosure let me make it clear that Bishop Listecki put out a message that he objects to the retreat, but that he has no power to stop it. That baffles me! A priest can only say Mass in a bishop's diocese with his permission. A religious order can only operate in a bishop's diocese with his permission. It's true that the bishop has no police force, so he can't send in the Church guard to remove these folks, but he can make it darn unpleasant for them.

Father Krysztof Olaf Charamsa worked for theVatican until 2015 when he "came out." How manyothers in the homo subculture still work there?

I had a long conversation with Fr. Jim Haley yesterday about the Vigano bombshell [Read the letter here.] We talked about the crisis in the Church and the necessity for all the cancer to be cut out.

How can the exposure of the corruption in the hierarchy not be a vindication of this brave priest?

Fr. Haley lost everything in an attempt to get his bishop, his spiritual father Paul Loverde to do something about the filthy corruption poisoning our Church?

How might things be different if 15 years ago someone in authority had listened to him beginning with Bishop Loverde. After his trial, Father Haley spoke to several bishops who told him nothing would be done about it. A few clergy said the important thing was to get him back into ministry, but he insisted the truth be told. "It will NEVER happen!" he was told.

Word, words, words! They can be used to tell the truth and they can be used to lie. How do you use
words? That's a good question for our bishops, don't you think?
Some make words mean whatever they say they mean - like Humpty Dumpty in Alice and Wonderland. So child rape and abuse become "horseplay," "boundary violations," and "inappropriate behavior." Their word manipulation reminds me of Screwtape advising his "nephew" Wormwood. I can just hear the bishop's conversation with the diocesan lawyer, safe-touch coordinator, and communications director.

Bishop: We need a strategy for shifting the conversation away from homosexuality.Lawyer: Keep talking about all the procedures in place for protecting children and how successful they are. We have the volunteers signing agreements making them mandatory reporters. If there's an incident we can blame it on them.Com. Director: I'll stress the problem of clericalism with the press and emphasize how heroic your response has been to the crisis.

The homosexual propaganda machine is operating at full tilt these days as evidenced by many articles where semantic gymnastics are used to deceive. I read one today by Fr. Peter Daly, a retired priest of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. and a columnist for the not-really-Catholic Reporter, aka "the fishwrap." I include that bit of information because it tells you from the outset that Daly is not an orthodox priest. Orthodoxy is banned from the "fishwrap," especially orthodoxy about the disorder of homosexuality.

The article, Confrontation time: Cardinal McCarrick and me in 2002, sounds great. And how nobly it paints Fr. Daly, a priest who almost single-handedly had the courage to boldly confront McCarrick about the sex abuse crisis. (Drum roll and trumpet fanfare!) It happened, as he tells it, at a priests' meeting after McCarrick returned from Rome where the bishops were called to discuss the abuse crisis with Pope John Paul II. Here's Fr. Daly's description of the event:

A priest friend sent me a letter to God this morning written by a self-described "lover of God begging for healing." That is something we certainly need so I want to share it. [See below.] I thought her comment about the "glitter and gold, the luxurious cars and mansions" points to a major problem in the episcopacy so I hotlinked to a CNN article about diocesan mansions. How many people in the pew, the sons and daughters of these spiritual "fathers," live like that?

The Bible tells us that "love of money is the root of all evils" and there is plenty of evidence in the episcopacy proving some bishops are "material" boys. I thought of that yesterday on the feast of Pope St. Pius X, the son of peasants, who once said he was born poor, lived poor, and would die poor. That is certainly not the lifestyle of many of our bishops, like Bishop Bransfield of Wheeling-Charleston. He could be described as one of our own "bishops of bling" here in the U.S. He scandalized many of the flock when he arrived in 2004 (including several of my husband's siblings who live in the diocese) with his "renovations" to the bishop's house. Here's what I wrote about him in 2012 when he was named in an abuse trial:

Cardinal Wuerl could be a stand up comic, albeit a closeted one. The title of his soon Not-to-be-published book, What Do You Want to Know? A Pastor's Response to the Most Challenging Questions about the Catholic Faith, sounds like a joke in view of the Grand Jury report. Was the cardinal laughing up his sleeve when he titled it?

The fact is, Cardinal Wuerl has been a cover-up meister for years doing all he could to keep the coverup lid on evil and the duct tape over the mouths of his brother bishops who might be tempted to speak up and boldly condemn intrinsic evils. How embarrassing!

Did you know that in 2005, just a few short years after Dallas, Wuerl planned to introduce a Mechanism of Review via the USCCB. It wasn't, of course, a review of the bishops and their on-going efforts to hide their involvement in the sex abuse crisis.

Today at Mass we were reminded to reflect the face of Jesus. Does my face reflect the face of Jesus? Yes, it truly does. Since ex-Cardinal, Theodore McCarrick's filth was uncovered - which is a ruse in itself since many bishops had known of McCarrick's homosexual activities for years and the payouts emanating from various charges against him decades ago and still raised him to the Cardinalate - my face most certainly reflects the face of Jesus. It's an angry face filled with disdain, contempt and scorn and just like Jesus, the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and so, again, just like Jesus, I'll fashion me a whip because it's whip o'clock, baby. (Thanks to Ann Barnhardt for this expression.)Meanwhile, I have single-handedly discovered verses left out of the Bible concerning Jesus' cleansing of the Temple. Here they are below:

Living in a culture of death with all its ugly trappings can tempt us to sink into what John Bunyon, in his allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress, called the “slough of despond” or what others describe as the swamp of sadness and despair. Abortion, euthanasia, suicide (including assisted suicide), and all the other depressing moral evils of our day dance around humanity pounding us with the message that life is meaningless and not worth living. It is, of course, a lie, but one that seduces many souls already fighting mental illness, guilt, depression, or hopelessness.

One sad sign of the state of the culture, is the increasing number of suicides, particularly among the young. A leading cause of death in those 15 to 29 is suicide. Young women attempt it more often, but young men more often succeed as did my precious 18-year-old grandson who killed himself on May 2nd.

The movie opens October 12th. I'll be there and I hope every abortion proponent in the country is there as well to see exactly what they support. How many realize how evil the abortion industry is? Planned Parenthood opposes any regulation of abortion mills. Dead moms are simply the collateral damage that is inevitable in their practice of child sacrifice. They are the enablers of the many Kermit Gosnell serial killers around the country. If you're an honest person and believe abortion is safe and legal, find out how wrong you are. It may be legal but it attracts the bottom feeders and those who enjoy killing for cash. And if a few women take a hit in the process...oh well.

Remember when we used to cry and our parents would threaten to give us something to really cry about? Do you need an emotional support pig? Do you cry when a meaningful celebrity dies even though you can't remember who it was or what they did? Do you cry because your eyebrows don't match? Are you always virtue signaling with fake tears? In short, are you a snowflake? If so, this video on rising narcissism because of social media will make you cry.

Several years ago I did a blog post on the morality of sodomy as foreplay that got more attention than anything I've ever done. It was critical of those in the Theology of the Body camp who say sodomy is okay in marriage as "foreplay" as long as the marital act is concluded in the normal way.

Recently, the post got picked up by Ron Conte in A Debate About Marital Foreplay. Ron brings up great points and quotes from Church documents and the saints that were not addressed in the original article. He skewers the idea of some talking heads that ANYTHING is allowed as long as the marital act is concluded in the normal way and the couple agrees on the "foreplay." (Are whips and handcuffs included?)

I recommend the article. Some things are degrading and dehumanizing in whatever context they occur even if the parties agree.

Keep in mind that the USCCB is the same body that has fleeced the flock for decades to support Alinsky community organizing groups that support liberal politics and politicians. (You know, the liberals who support killing babies in the womb, criminalizing the use of the wrong pronoun, putting Christians who won't bend the knee to the homo agenda in jail, etc.)

Rev Anthony J Maione was a priest in Albany, NY, where he was known as Father Tony Maione, yet in the Diocese of Orlando he was called Mr Tony Maione because no one here knew he was a priest (except the bishop and the DDRE) and where, after his death, Orlando's own diocesan priests were astonished to learn that Mr Tony Maione had also been a priest, Fr Tony Maione from Albany, NY. Mr Tony Maione was hired by Orlando's Bishop Norbert Dorsey (d 2013) and Sr Linda Gaupin, DDRE, as Associate Director of Religious Education in charge of Youth and Young Adult Ministry in 2001.

In2010, 4 years after his death in 2006, never mentioning that at the time of his death he was known as MR Tony Maione and had been living undercover in the Diocese of Orlando, Bishop Howard Hubbard (retired 2014) of Albany, NY dedicated the new chapel at Saratoga Central Catholic High School to Rev Anthony "Tony" J Maione, "a former campus minister at the school who died in 2006." Note that Bishop Hubbard does not mention that Fr Tony Maione had died in Orlando known as Mr Tony Maione.

Below is the article from the 2006 July/August issue #49 of The Orlando Truth exposing the cover-up and lies of both the Albany Diocese and the Orlando Diocese who were complicit in shuttling a possible predator priest and lying about his history - a prime example of the homosexual network(s) currently running the American Catholic Church of which the now disgraced ex-Cardinal, Theodore McCarrick is a member (no pun intended) destroying the faith of the laity and integrity of the Catholic Church.

Close your eyes as you listen to this man wearing a dress speak. Is that a woman's voice? Does he LOOK LIKE A WOMAN? We live in a culture gone nuts. I wonder what pronoun people are supposed to use for this...person? How about "ut" for "ugly thing."

It is indeed ugly to see someone reject his God-given nature to live what can only be called an unnatural lie. That so many people are willing to go along with it shows just how demonic the culture has become. Like the foolish people in The Emperor's New Clothes, they happily cheer for insanity and refuse to believe their own eyes and ears. This person can call himself "Christine" all day. It won't change his DNA!

White
Guilt, by Shelby Steele carries a message so true and so
painful for the liberal left they would no doubt prefer that it is never
mentioned.Steele was a recent guest on Mark
Levin’s Sunday night program on Fox News.He was interviewed for a full hour at the end of which I was intrigued
enough to get his book and read it.

I'm reading Bishop Gracida's Autobiography, An Ordinary's Not So Ordinary Life. [Visit Bishop Gracida's Blog, Abyssum Abyssum Invocat.] In the preface, Fr. Patrick Serna makes an observation that should give us all comfort as we see horrifying revelations explode almost daily:

"According to reports, at least 90 priests in Pittsburgh alone are implicated in the findings. And — a fact largely unknown to the public — Wuerl was named in multiple lawsuits during his tenure there, accused of conspiring to cover up sex abuse. Though often portrayed as a bishop tough on sex abuse and years ahead of his time in implementing 'zero tolerance,' Wuerl's actual history tells a different story."

One of our readers alerted me to the Quest conference that ran from August 10-12 in Lincoln, England and featured notorious gay rights propagandist Fr. James Martin, S.J. Last year their featured speaker was Sr. Jeannine Grammick another dissenter from Church teaching on sexuality and gay rights champion That's enough to know what Quest is, but I'll add more.

I'm not a huge fan of Bishop Barron. He seems to me to be too much one of the "nice guys" who keep their heads down and always speak sweetness and light. When he cast down on whether anyone was in hell, I just shook my head. Goodness, was Our Lady of Fatima a sadist showing the children souls like burning embers falling into hell when, in reality, nobody ever goes there?

So I confess I was surprised at this article bout the diabolical nature of the McCarrick scandal and his suggestion which is 180 agrees away from the sickening proposal of Cardinal Wuerl.

You probably know someone who's gone to Facebook jail. I'm surprised they haven't gone after me yet. I guess I'm just too low on the totem pole to bother with. But we are increasingly seeing the tyranny of the "electronic left." The big guns going after Alex Jones in a coordinated attack seems to be a deliberate move as Bill Whittle and buddies say in the video below.

Is this move against Alex Jones a pre-emptive strike before the midterm elections? Keep his fans away, prevent them from hearing his message?

The Catholic Church has some serious problems. Certainly, the sex abuse crisis magnified by the bishops' cover-up crisis is at the top of the list. But we also have a major idiocy problem in the hierarchy!

I came across proof while reading interview comments from Cardinal Kevin Farrell who heads the Vatican Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. Note well...This is the same Kevin Farrell who was good buddies with Cardinal McCarrick, who worked under McCarrick, whose career was advanced by McCarrick, who was ordained a bishop by McCarrick, who shared an apartment with McCarrick... who now claims he knew nothing about McCarrick's pederasty and sex abuse.

Think about it. How many private organizations pick the taxpayers pockets and then pour those buckets of money into lobbying for an evil agenda?

PP isn't using taxpayer money for that purpose, you say? Come on! It's a shell game. It all comes into one bulging sack and they just pretend with lovely bookkeeping ledgers that the money spent on abortion and lobbying is from private donations. They are just a charitable nonprofit that loves the poor. Have you ever checked the salaries of their "nonprofit." PP's head Cecile Richards receives a salary of $600,000! Many directors of their facilities get six-figure salaries. PP execs are definitely one percenters. The peons at the bottom get a lot less of course. Some earn less than minimum wage. Liberals are sooooo generous -- to their elitist wing.

So ditch your naive belief that PP works for peanuts out of the goodness of their hearts and love for women. How many tiny unborn women do they tear apart limb from limb? And how many adult women and young girls have they mutilated and killed with their "safe and legal" abortion. Oh...and then there's the side business of selling baby body parts to the highest bidder!

We live in an era of papal confusion. Every time Pope Francis opens his mouth he throws a grenade at the faithful in the pews leaving chaos and flying shrapnel that obscures the teaching of the Church. On the one hand he will say something in conformity with Church doctrine; the next minute he acts in a way that contradicts what he just said. And then, refusing to clarify, he lets the confusion batter the faithful. One prudent friend said she just doesn't listen to him any more. What a situation for a Catholic where Peter, the chief teacher, bound to teach, govern, and sanctify has become a champion of confusion. Pope Francis recently lobbed a grenade by saying that capital punishment is never admissible. That is a CHANGE in a perennial Church doctrine; not a development, not a clarification -- a break with past teaching. The papal posse on EWTN raises many troubling questions about the pope's actions in the video below. Raymond Arroyo observes that convicted murderers sometimes escape from prison killing more people in the process and gives examples of recent cases. How does that uphold the dignity and rights of their victims? It's a question that has always prevented me from jumping on the anti-death penalty wagon. How are prisoners and guards to be protected from homicidal psychopaths? Are their lives not worth protecting? How many murders does a criminal get before society can protect itself?

Wow! What a touching moment to see all those guys, black and white, move in to lay hands on President Trump. This is our "racist" president?

Let's all commit to praying for President Trump and our country EVERY SINGLE DAY! A big high five to "J.K." Scott who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers a few weeks after this event. Keep him in your prayers too. I hope he has a terrific season!

From age 15 the now disgraced ex-Cardinal, Theodore McCarrick, was groomed for the priesthood by the homosexuals in Cardinal "Nellie" Spellman's homosexual network. McCarrick started high school at Xavier (oratory scholarship) in the fall of 1944 and completed 2 academic years there by May 1946. Then he was EXPELLED and quietly disappeared for one academic year - 16 months total counting the summer months. His story differs as to where he was. In one story he says he was "confused". In others he says he was expelled for truancy and a third says he was making bad grades so was expelled.

After being missing for over a year he reappears at Fordham Prep and immediately zooms to the top of their "best student chart" graduating in 1949 with 4 superlatives - Most Likely to Succeed, Best Speaker, Most Diplomatic, and Did the Most for Prep.

Bishop Edward Scharfenberger of Albany sent a letter to all his clergy and seminarians last Friday condemning the sexual abuse problem (including sexual harassment of adult men). Sections of the letter are very powerful. I reprint a large portion here:

In negative terms, and as clearly and directly as I can repeat our Church teaching, it is a grave sin to be “sexually active” outside of a real marriage covenant. A cardinal is not excused from what a layperson or another member of the clergy is not. A member of the clergy who pledges to live a celibate life must remain as chaste in his relationship with all whom he serves as spouses within a marriage. This is what our faith teaches and what we are held to in practice. There is no “third way.”

“Sexual activity” includes grooming and seduction – the kind of experience that one of our brothers tells of in a recent interview in America magazine that you may have seen. The psychological and spiritual destructiveness of such predatory behavior, really incestuous by a man who is held up as a spiritual father to a son in his care – even if not a minor – cannot be minimized or rationalized in any way....

The persecution of good priests by the like of McCarrick and cronies is well established. My good friend Fr. James Haley was booted from the Arlington diocese for bringing proof of the homosexual depravity of priests in our diocese to former bishop Paul Loverde. Charges were drummed up against him and after being threatened by the bishop who told him, "You have no idea what I can do to you," was summarily dismissed and forcibly laicized and excommunicated. (At least that's what he was told. I don't think he ever received anything official which makes me wonder what his status really is.)

At any rate, I was on Mahound's blog this morning and it made me want to cry. Fr. Phillips has now been crucified by gay enabler Blase Cupich of Chicago.

GoodCatholic priests and bishops should not be penalized for the sins of others, nor should chaste homosexuals, although they should not be priests. That being said, how many bad priests, that is, actively gay priests, will participate in sodomite activities while on their summer vacation? They won't be going to Disney World for Gay Days since that's too public. No. They will travel to one of the many private gay campgrounds around the US. (I won't link the Gay Camping USA website but you can look it up.)

When he goes on his summer vacation perhaps you imagine your pastor flying to Rome and praying day and night at St Peter's to hone his spiritual skills, getting in touch with God on a more personal level. Maybe you see him in your mind's eye in Portugal praying the Rosary at Fatima, asking the Blessed Mother to help him become more holy. Perhaps you envision him on a mountaintop with a halo around his head personally conversing with angels and saints. But wonder no more, because if his Masses are wild, loud, clapping, singing affairs with people swarming around the altar like ants at a picnic to consume torn off pieces of a large pita-style Host I can assure you that your leftist homosexual pastor is at none of your imagined vacation spots. He's probably gone camping.

Once upon a time, in fact back a hundred years ago in 2002, in the Texas town of Dallas a good bishop named Fabian Bruskewitz suggested to his brothers that they examine the relationship between the clergy sex abuse crisis and dissent. But his brothers, many of whom happily coddled dissent (especially from Church teaching about sexuality) demurred. Poor Fabian couldn't find a single supporter among his hundreds of colleagues whom he later described as "this hapless bench of bishops." Only among the laity were there ears willing to hear his cries.
